Detroit, Michigan – An elderly, 14-year-old dog named Duke was cruelly betrayed by the people who were supposed to be there for him through the entirety of his life. According to Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue, Duke’s owners put him outside when he got sick and called animal control to report him as a stray.
In a social media post, the dog rescue organization explains:
Can you imagine not feeling too well and being a 14-year-old senior dog in a home with your family who promised to love and care for you when suddenly they put you outside and called the police animal control department to report you as a stray? And then when an officer arrived and saw you continuing to try to go into your house the family who you loved dearly denied knowing you.
The Eastpointe Police Animal Control Division scanned Duke for a microchip and found one registered to the people who reported him as a “stray.” It quickly became apparent that Duke was seriously ill – after being transported to an emergency veterinarian he was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and he has some “concerning bloodwork.”
Fortunately, Duke’s family is expected to face legal repercussions for abandoning their dog. The rescue group writes:
We know that the City of Eastpointe has ZERO TOLERANCE for animal neglect/abandonedment/abuse and we are confident that there will be serious legal consequences for Duke’s abandonment.

That family deserves to rot in hell11
That is the lowest of low acts. THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL, when your loyal and loving companion needs you the most, you turn your back on him like he is nothing – then deny owning him at all. THANK GOD FOR MICROCHIPS – THAT IS PRECISELY WHY THEY ARE MANDATORY IN AUSTRALIA.
These filthy maggots deserve the maximum penalties (which let’s be honest, is f*ck all). Sending lots of love to sweet Duke, and hope he finds a loving home to spend his golden years.
People like that family do not deserve to have a fur baby. I love and cherish my cats until they go to Heaven.
Duke’s owners seriously betrayed him, the ultimate betrayal. He thought that he was part of a loving forever family instead he heard and found out their betrayal first hand with their own lying mouths. What a disgusting sick f_ck family. Duke was also very sick and was not receiving medical treatment or medication. They were trying to kill him by cruelly and cold heartedly abandoning him outside in the cold to freeze to death. How awful and what terrible despicable people. Please do NOT allow this evil bunch of pathetic trash to ever EVER own another pet dog again. Poor Duke he really REALLY deserved so very much better owners and family.
Bless that poor pup for ever having spent a minute with those monsters. Duke deserved so much better from this world. They truly are scum of the Earth. I hope they experience the same level of abandonment when they are sick.
Glad they got caught. Now lets see what the George Soros Judges do…..nothing.
Hope that Duke’s traitors will suffer immeasurably as they will he held accountable and will be in jail and mug shot as animal violators. No Mercy for them and then also they should be held to pay for Dukje’s care!!! They should be jailed and punished as their mug shots should be known!!!! Duke deserves a home and life of beauty and love for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Naomi Semeniuk
Duke deserves so much better than the worthless individuals that chose to abandon him when he most needed them. Hopefully they will get what they deserve for their heartlessness and get a long stay behind bars. And, hopefully Duke will recover and find someone that is capable of giving him the love he so deserves.
This bastard is a man, not a woman.
Such lowlives…it’s tragic that Duke got stuck with them as his “family.” I hope they get justice good and hard.
